Textile Washing Chemicals: Micro ve Macro Silicone

What Is It?

Micro silicone belongs to the group of silicone-based softeners and is produced from silicon, which is abundant in nature. Silicone oils, with silicon dioxide as their raw material, are used for softening and various other purposes in the textile industry. With its nonionic structure, micro silicone imparts a silky touch and softness to yarns, knits, jerseys, and woven fabrics made from cotton, polyester, nylon, lyocell, linen, wool, and their blends.

Textile Washing Chemicals

Micro silicone emulsions with particle sizes smaller than 40 nm provide fabrics with softness, smoothness, and slipperiness. The latest technology mechanical systems are used to achieve the properties imparted by large particle sizes to the fabric by reducing them to smaller particle sizes.

Macro Silicone: Silky Touch and Softness

What Is Macro Silicone? Macro silicone provides fabric with smoothness, silky touch, and softness through emulsions with particle sizes of 120 nm and above. Our innovative solutions prevent issues such as yellowing on the fabric surface and instability in emulsions caused by macro emulsions.

Features:

Macro Silicone Softener delivers excellent results in the finishing processes of all types of fibers and textiles. It imparts a very soft, smooth, and elastic feel to woven and knitted fabrics. It has no adverse effects on the color tone or color fastness of dyed fabrics. It enhances the wash-wear properties, wrinkle resistance, and ease of sewing of the fabric; reduces tearing and abrasion. It is resistant to washing and dry cleaning. In the finishing of filling fibers, it provides excellent smoothness and elasticity to the fiber.
